Below is the following system I have just built. I am looking for a video card under $200!
I have heard that GF3 is going to be in Ultra and MX forms in 2 months which is a long time.
I am interested in the Gainward CardExpert GF2 Pro 4.5ns Golden Sample or should I wait for the new GF3 cards?
Or is there any other video cards I may have overlooked and should consider such as the Creative Labs GF2 Ultra?

Thanks Bry

If you decide to oc the Pro enough, you could eccentially have an Ultra in your system. (a GeForce 2 Ultra is really an overclocked GTS chip with 4 ns DDR ram). You could pay an extra $50-100 or so for an Ultra, but I am not sure how much it would be worth it unless you really are not into tweaking cards. Besides, the performance gain may not justify the extra cash...

From the sounds of things, the GeForce 3 MX should have similar performance to the current GF2 Pro. Depending on the games you play, I would think a Pro would last you until at least the next generation of nVidia GPUs.
